In my quest for the perfect winter hat I have experience of the following:
Castelli winter hat - current, very good fit - a little warm sometimes, smells a bit after a lot of wear, ear flaps stay in place though -good value
Rapha - a year old, decent fit - good wicking, no smell at all, ear flaps ride up a bit though
Rapha full merino woolly- nice but went baggy, letting the air in, sold it.
Sugoi - sold it, ear flaps never stayed in place - apart from that a good hat merino too - bit disappointed I had to sell
SonofSon - sold it to Markyboy, too small for me, wind caught the flaps
Swrve merino - (new out)tried on but not used I might get one to test - could be a bit too warm for me - good fit though and the merino was thick!
bear in mind my ear flat problem may stem from the fact that I have long hair, worn up in a ponytail so that may be a factor in the ear flap 'creep'
the lads i've sold the winter hats too have been happy with their purchases sofar
I would have bought one of those campag ones from prendas but they were sold out.
